Bizarre Modern Subcultures

A look into the strange, unbelievable customs and beliefs of today's modern alternative lifestyles.

A subculture is defined as a group of people, who intentionally differentiate themselves from the masses to indulge in their owns traditions and beliefs.

Some are strange and some are barely known. But we've brought some of the most popular underground subcultures to you. While, you may not have heard of them, some of these subcultures have global followings.

Bronies. Someone who idolizes fictional characters. A popular idol of choice is "My Little Pony".

Faeidism. The belief that fairies now reside in other realms but are accessible through magical portals. Faeids don't dress like fairies, but they are dedicated to discovering these magical portals.

Otherkin. People who believe that they are, in fact, half-human, half animal warriors.

Ganguro. A Japanese trend where people get an extremely-dark tan, loud hair and even louder accessories.
